The Primordial Essence
In "The Land of Duality," a world split into the 'Realm of Light' and the 'Realm of Chaos' after the 'Great Collapse,' Leon Drak was an outcast. With an Ether level of 2.8, he faced constant disdain and was humiliatingly expelled from the academy by 'Berserker Ares' and 'Light's Successor, Lyte.' Consumed by self-hatred and a burning desire for revenge, he plunged into the forbidden 'Fissure Canyon,' the epicenter of the Great Collapse, to claim the 'Essence' (Heart of the Abyss) that lay dormant there.
Fusing with the residual will of the 'First Balancer,' Leon awakened an overwhelming power of Chaos Ether. He unleashed this newfound might to brutally destroy Ares, who had once crushed him, thus igniting his saga of vengeance. His wild awakening was sensed by Lyte, the 'Light's Successor,' and a wave of chaos now threatened the entire 'Land of Light.'
Sensing Leon's potent Chaos signature, Baldur, the 'Iron Lord' and one of the 'Seven Lords of Malice,' approached him. Baldur enlisted Leon into their cause of 'evolution through chaos.' Now the 'Lord of Chaos and Vengeance,' Leon, under Baldur's command, undertook a preliminary mission for the impending 'Tower of Radiance' assault: corrupting an 'Ether Purification Stone.' In doing so, he clashed with an elite unit of the 'Watcher' organization, undeniably proving his formidable power. No longer merely a man seeking revenge, Leon now steps onto the battlefield as a 'Lord of Chaos,' poised to overturn the world's balance in a grand war against the 'Tower of Radiance.'
